PRESS OPINIONS.


New York Rorld: It 10 believed that
an excellent football team could be se-
lected from the Indiana legislature.
Minneapolis Tribune: Gentlemen who
predicted the earthquake in Southern
Europe viii please step forward and re-
gister.
Philadelphia Times: The work Of re-
organizing the cabinet il still being pres
sed by the fellows who are never invited
TO the White House.
Cleveland Lender: The President says
that he sees no reason for calling a spe-
cial session of the Senate. He hasn't
much use for the Senate anyway.
New York Sun; Names are nothing.
The administration can not be really
Democratic until it has made the radical
changes damanded by the Democrats in
1876, and demanded in vain.
st Paul Pioneer Press; Henry George
very wisely packed his gripsaek and
slipped out of Cincinnati before the late
labor congress commenced operations.
George was little afraid of getting
beyond his depth.
st. LOUIS Globe Democrat: The election
of Mr.. Ingalls, as President pro tenn. OF
the Senate is deserved and gratifying
compliment to the New West, which is
fast becoming the political as well as the
industrial seat of empire in this country.
Milwaukee Sentinel: Nobody affirms
that labor is paid enough and that the
plane of living is as high as it shouldbe.
But it is the absurdest proposition to say
that the condition of the world is to be
advanced by the spending Of all q man
earns.
Philadelphia Press: If the labor lead.
ers will rigidlY set their faces against
strikes and boycotts and turn their eff.
forts toward educating their followers in
economic principles and saving habits
they will soon be astonished and graft
fed at the progress made,
Minneapolis Tribune, We do not sup.
port large army. We do not anticipate
in the future any military struggles
which will call for large armies. Toward
the defenders of the Union in the great
civil war of twenty years ago we can af-
ford to be exceptionally generous.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette; The
Democratic party stands apart. 1t re-
presents reaction. 1t means the old
Confederate mud road or corduroy
snakehead, thornbush, and worr-fence
conditions, finding interpretations Of the
constitution in the interest of a semi.
barbarous PRONUNCIATION.
Philadelphia Record: The same rights
that we claim for ourselves we should
eoncede to others, This is the essence o,
liberty, public and private; and one o.
the meanest and most intolerable forms
of the violation of equal rights is the
boycott. 1t is practice utterly unwor
thy of the manliness of American char
acter.
Brooklyn Union: When Governor Hi
and his companion demagogues are gone
to the retirement which by their hypo
crisy they have already deserved, the
Republican party under the old banner
with the old war cries and with its trust
ed leaders in the van, will be moving
forward conquering and to conquer new
victories for the advancement of the
common people and the preserva tioI
and progress of the Union of the States
indianapolis Journal The State Senate
is now simply lawless mob in insured
ton against the State government, anC
every Senator participating in this law
less proceeding is as guilty of treason al
JEFF Davis and his gang, when they or
ganized at Montgomery, Ala, in 1851.
Four years more of Cleveland and the
whole Democratic party of the natior
will be in the same condition,
New York World: The refusal of ex
President White to accept an appoint
ment on the Interstate Railroad Com
mission, which President Cleveland de
sired to tender him, illustrates the grow
ing unwillingness of citizens of the frs
rank in ability and character to accep
public positions.
President White is much too good 6
man and too true Republican to accep
Office under a fourth class Democratic
administration.
